Red Whittaker On Elon Musk And Taking Pittsburgh To The Moon
from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
Students and professors at Carnegie Mellon University have been leaving their mark on the world for generations. Now they're taking it a bit further by leaving their mark on the moon. Red Whitaker is a roboticist and a professor at CMU who has led robotic missions to space and built self-driving vehicles long before Elon Musk. Now he's helping students land a Rover on the moon in search of water. He talks with City Cast Pittsburgh host Morgan Moody about the next space frontier — and how many dollars the U.S. could save on space ventures if they thought just a little smaller.
